In the ask-late-reply case at least you'll get to see that there was a response like that, while not super precise it's still a bit helpful. Sorry we don't have a better solution here. Future wise we've been thinking about adding some kinds of tracing, which would make these kinds of things easier to detect. -- Konrad Akka Team Typesafe - The software stack for applications that scale Blog: letitcrash.com Twitter: @akkateam -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
